Rotoava, Fakarava / French Polynesia
What Les Perles d'Havaiki is known for
Working the Fakarava lagoon since 1989, Havaiki is the atoll's oldest still-active pearl farm, run from the family lodge at Rotoava. Watch a graft, try your luck at the oyster lottery, and choose loose Tahitian pearls or house-made jewelry a few metres from the water that made them.
